I was told that ROW means Rest of World and that ROW region locked games work in the United States, was looking into a game I want and it says ROW; it gives a disclaimer mentioning

"Warning! This product is region locked and it CANNOT be activated and played in the following countries: Asia/Pacific Region, Argentina, Australia, Bangladesh, Brunei Darussalam, Bolivia, Brazil, Bhutan, Canada, Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Chile, China, Colombia, Christmas Island, Ecuador, Falkland Islands (Malvinas), French Guiana, Guyana, Hong Kong, Indonesia, British Indian Ocean Territory, Japan, Cambodia, Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Republic of Korea, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Mongolia, Macau, Maldives, Mexico, Malaysia, Nepal, New Zealand, Peru, Philippines, Pakistan, Paraguay, Singapore, Suriname, Thailand, Timor-Leste, Taiwan, United States, Uruguay, Venezuela, Vietnam."

Which specifically says does not work in the US so does that mean ROW doesnt work in the US or is it a glitch/miswrite on there site?

I don't think every ROW game works in the US unless it's disclaimed so, every game has it's own regions so you gotta pay attention to that... and also i'd advise you NOT to buy from G2A.
But who am i to stop you, just advising against it :3

Ahh i see, well i know less than you do on this matter :P

(To Fweezy)
But yeah like d3m4n said.. i wouldn't take the risk if it discloses the country your in on any website. So maybe, if you really want it, you should contact support on this one.

It's G2A, you really have no way of knowing whether it'll work or not.

I'm guessing you are looking at a Deep Silver game? That is the only publisher that I know of that has a EU only lock on their games. Yes they do exist, are technically RoW, but are a pain in the ass to deal with.

Personally, don't bother making gibs of Deep Silver games unless they are Steam gift copies. Their RoW keys have stupid locks and you will not get a re-roll if the wrong person wins the game.

There are also packages tagged as NA+ROW which are basically just the Americas.
